I was crouched down beside my white car, while I washed its wheel arch from the pavement it was parked near. "SKYE!" I heard a voice echo loudly across the road. I stayed low behind my car as the voice got closer "SKYE, I know you're there!" I saw my chance to escape, the subway entrance was below, and so I quickly lifted the grate and jumped down onto the empty tracks. I ran down the tracks to the next station and ran out of it as fast as I could. I ran out on to the rooftops and looked around. That was when I saw the one who I feared to meet again, Wolfgang. After a few of my last encounters with him, it was the last thing I want today.

I saw him follow the path I took and I quickly sprouted the things I needed the most- my wings. I looked down at the other buildings and jumped and flew onto the building on the opposite side of the road. I went down the buildings stairs and around each room, I went out onto the street and found myself facing the station where I just emerged, Wolfgang was stood on the rooftop looking down at me. I ran from his gaze and flew to various buildings' roofs, just to get away from him.

I was getting tired and sat up on a rooftop out of the way for a few minutes; I looked at the time puffing exhaustedly, completely worn out. "SHIT" I said swiftly. I quickly got back up on my feet and looked around and saw where I needed to get to, a glass building on the next corner. So I flew up onto a higher rooftop and jumped down, soaring through the air to the building with windows for walls. I walked in to the building and when I saw Jesse I ran into his arms. Jesse was relieved to see that I was alright. I said "I don't have long; you have to listen very carefully". Jesse nodded and I continued "They're after me, and…"

"Who's after you?"

"SCIENCE" I said as I pointed out the window at Wolfgang who was trashing through other buildings looking for me. "They know that I've changed and they want whatever it is that's made it happen"

"Can't you give it to them?"

"I don't know what it is though, I only have a few choices though, get caught and have experiments on me or change back"

"Change back then"

"If I do, they'll kill me"

"We could go on the run and give you a makeover, they won't recognise you"

"They can smell me, which is how he is tracking me, he's following my scent. They'll be here any minute"

"What's going to happen?"

"Happened, I've already changed back"

"But they'll kill you"

"I know, but I need you to promise me something"

"Anything"

"You know they'll kill me right here, when they do, they will just leave me here for someone else to deal with. Promise you won't leave me when they go"

"I promise"

"I really love you"

"I really love you too"

The door of the building swung open, and Wolfgang took in a deep breath, smiled and looked directly into my eyes. "Come here" he said in a deep and booming voice that shook the room as he pointed at me. I began to walk towards him, as Jesse took my hand to hold me back. I turned to look at him.

"It'll be alright. I promise" I said as tears streamed down our cheeks. I turned back to face Wolfgang, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath as I turned. As I opened my eyes I looked directly at Wolfgang and stepped forward. "I've changed back" I spoke loudly to him "I'm completely human now"

"Liiies" He bellowed, he jumped up into the air and landed hard in front of me and knocked me over. "I don't believe you!"

"It's true, test me if you must" He drew one of his fine, long claws and cut the palm of my hand in one swoop. My hand turned crimson with my warm blood as it filled my hand and poured over the edge onto the shining tiled floor. He crouched over my body, straddling me so I could not move away and grabbed my hand, lapping my blood with his rough tongue, making me wince in pain as his tongue scratched the surface of my skin. He threw my hand back to the floor in disgust at my human blood.

"HUMAN" he shouted growling in anger he stood up quickly, swiftly taking his gun out of its holster tied around his waist. He aimed the gun directly at my heart as he stood over me. He looked directly in my eyes and said "THIS is what happens when you mess with us!" He pulled the trigger and I saw the shining bullet zip through the air and it hit me and my eyes closed as I died. He twirled his gun in style and put in back in its holster. He turned on his heels making his cloak sway as he did.

Jesse watched as he left and ran over to my side taking my hand, whispering to me "It's alright, he's gone now" Jesse stroked my hair and brushed it out of my pale face and stroked my cheek, crying softly. Not knowing what to do next. Jesse picked my body up and I stayed still as Jesse did and he carried me out into the street and took me up flights of stairs into the hotel bedroom we'd planned to stay at that night. As we got to the room he laid me on the soft double bed, with satin sheets and with rose petals that he'd laid out on the bed beforehand. Jesse lay beside me on the bed, and didn't leave my side. He began to drift off to sleep as by now it was very late.

I slowly woke up as Jesse had fallen sound asleep next me. I looked at his and kissed his forehead and gently woke him up. He opened his eyes and looked completely stunned at me and opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't say a word. He finally got his words together and whispered "how?" I looked at him and opened my long coat and lifted my shirt to reveal the bullet encased in my bullet-proof vest, I pulled out the bullet and inspected it quickly and put it on the table next to the bed, engraved on the bullet was 'Skye'. Jesse looked into my eyes and began crying with relief and we threw our arms around each other in a tight embrace "I thought I'd lost you"

"I promised you wouldn't ever lose me"
